Dedicated powergroup

[KraaijCheck]

Hi guys, this friday i’m finally getting a dedicated powergroup for my audio with good cables, fuse etc.

Anyone of you already did this and want to share their experience?

When you say "dedicated power group", are you talking about a separate power circuit from your mains board which supplies only your audio system? Here in Australia that's called a "dedicated circuit" and I suspect that it may be called other things in other countries. I've never heard the word "power group" before.

If what you are asking about is what I call a "dedicated circuit" then I'm running 2 separate such circuits, one for my audio system and one for an AV system in another room. They deliver a noticeable improvement, at least here in my home. They don't do anything about noise reaching your system from the grid but they do isolate your system from things in your house such as computers and motors in refrigerators and the like which can add noise to the power circuit in your house and which otherwise could be passed to your audio system. I think you will be quite happy with the result.

Thanks! We are talking about the same thing

Yes, I have 2 dedicated lines.

One feeding a Shunyata Everest for essential components (amps, source, switch)
One feeding a Shunyata PS8 for less important AV stuff (Apple TV, Bluray player,...)

Cheers,
Bernard

Thanks Bernard. Made a big difference for you?

A few years ago I counted the number of appliances on the same circuit as my Hi-Fi. I was shocked when the total came to 21!  As I had space for a another circuit breaker on my consumer unit I decided to run a dedicated shielded mains cable to my music system and used good quality sockets. It was an easy job as the consumer unit was only a 6 meter straight run to the sockets and I was able to "fish" the cable under the floor.  The results were well worth the effort as it eliminated potential mains interference from switch mode power supplies, TV, modem, router, led lighting etc. and resulted in a clear improvement in sound quality.

To be honest I don’t know because I did not compare with another set up in this house.

But the Shunyata power filtering is amazing. Very high end stuff but I don’t think anything else comes close.

Is there any power board I can buy that won’t let switch power supply leaks back to the mains?

For example i connect all the led, fan, tv into such a power board that stop any noise back to the mains.

When I wired up my house I needed some 6 square mm cable for the stove top (11 kiloWatt) and some 4 square mm for the ovens. Rather than buying the lengths I needed at inflated prices I just bought a whole roll of 6 square mm cable. I used it for the stove top and ovens but also installed two extra circuits for the Od'A's. I never tried without so I can't say it makes a difference but I can tell you I'll never be short of current.
